It’s liberal-tarian. There are no actual progressive places in the US. Except maybe Berkeley.

the next few years will see push for some much more progressive things at city level in la and lb. orange county went blue. the $$ won the day w the ballot props mostly. etc. my commentary is more for ppl outside ca who are confused bc the reputation doesn’t match the policy

Progressive counterculture is basically a larp here. A sideshow pretending you be the big tend.
